Tipping During the Holiday Season

The holiday season is here and along with it comes the joy of gift giving! At holiday time is when most people choose to give a little extra “thanks” to the service professionals who make our day-to-day schedule a little easier throughout the year. Traditionally, a cash tip would be the norm for some service providers such as Superintendent, Mail/Newspaper Carrier or Garbage Collector, while it is just as common to give a small gift for other providers. But in this day and age many have an array of special people to thank with a budget that doesn’t quite match. Being appreciated for extra special service is always welcome whether in the form of cash or a thoughtful gift, no matter the size. Here are some unique gifts that convey your thanks without breaking the bank!

You may not have a special relationship with ALL of these service providers, but I’m sure at least a few are on your list of people to thank this holiday season…
